16. MLS PROJECT GOALS, OBJECTIVES & DELIVERABLES 16

17. MLS VISION 17

18. MLS GOALS Evaluate the effectiveness of using multiple learning technologies (i.e., web-based e-learning, mobile apps, etc.) to support learning objectives Assess the interoperability between U.S. and foreign partners learning management systems and their ability to meet Joint Security Cooperation Education and Training regulation (JSCET) training, information sharing, collaboration and coalition interoperability requirements 18

19. MLS OBJECTIVES Evaluate the learning effectiveness of using learning technologies (web-based e-Learning, mobile applications, etc.) to support joint, interagency, intergovernmental and multinational (JIIM) education and training requirements. Assess the interoperability of the US and foreign partners learning management systems to meet US/USG training, information sharing, and collaboration, and coalition interoperability requirements Ensure that international partners have access to courses via DoD e-learning systems in accordance with Security Cooperation requirements 19

20. MLS DELIVERABLES Provide e-learning courses in both the web-based and mobile app formats The infrastructure to permit informed decision on the best delivery methodology for international partners The capability of tracking courseware related content via partner LMS’ will be available via web services from the existing Joint Knowledge Online (JKO) coalition training capability. A legally compliant and integrated tracking with partner Learning Management Systems (LMS) and JKO Mobile courses/content required to support US and its partners that comply with Security Cooperation requirements 20

21. MLS WORKING GROUPS 21

22. LEARNING CONTENT WORKING GROUP Ensure the learning courses are developed according to the optimum format (e.g., audio course, e-course, apps, etc.) to meet the learning objectives Identify the delivery formats to support just-in-time learning complements traditional training and education systems as well as more of a “personal assistance for learning” approach 22

23. TECHNOLOGY & INTEROPERABILITY Develop content, based on US-customer needs, to support a multichannel learning approach (e.g., web-based, mobile applications, etc.) content. Demonstrate the capability to incorporated a multichannel, multinational distributed learning architecture that uses the Joint Knowledge Online Internet Public (JKO-IP) for both web-based and mobile learning applications. Make recommendations on how the lessons learned may be used to support future DoD and other USG International Military Student Predeparture Training Requirements. 23

24. TESTING & EVALUATION Conduct an evaluation of a multichannel learning approach (e.g., web-based, mobile applications, etc.) to evaluate the effectiveness of providing a ‘personal assistance to learning (PAL)’ approach. Evaluate the interoperability between US/International Learning Management Systems to support training and education needs and requirements. Make recommendations on how the lessons learned may be used to support DoD and other USG International Military Student Predeparture Training Requirements. 24

29. “INFORMED CONSENT IS NOT JUST ABOUT PATIENTS” EU Data Protection Requirements: “From a data protection and privacy issues points of view, all study participants present in a research project need to be informed about the planned research use of the collected data independently of they type of data collected If a survey is planned within a project, participant need not only to be informed of how their personal data is planned to be handled, but also provide appropriate authorization. The design of the survey must guarantee that only data specifically required for the purpose of the research project will be gathered (unless clearly stated otherwise).” 29
